Myelination, the process by which glial cells ensheath the axons of neurons in layers of myelin, ensures the rapid conduction of electrical impulses in the nervous system. The formation of myelin sheaths is one of the most spectacular examples of cell-cell interaction and coordination in nature.
The myelin sheath around most vertebrate axons provides a layer of insulation that prevents the loss of the electrical signal from an action potential. Myelin is lipid rich substance that does not conduct electricity well.ecause of the insulation provided by the myelin, action potentials can travel much more rapidly down myelinated axons than down unmyelinated axons. Myelin also isolates axons from one another in the white matter of the brain preventing the short-circuiting of nerve signals in the central nervous system.
